Hflirn Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 06/13/2014 6:02 pm Exo yes I understand where you are coming from and I can imagine it would be hard to believe this from an outsiders perspective, but I do collect other coins lol! Found an 1883/2 shield today actually. I do have other stuff that is considered harder to come by but I have had the stuff for years and sometimes its hard to go back to it. This is of course not the fairest view point but I'll switch it up a lot more. This will be the last mention for awhile on the Two Cent coin...it is an 1873 BTW. Maybe this one will have an impact or maybe not. Either way I'm having fun and that is important Report this Post to the Staff

CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 06/13/2014 6:46 pm Um, 2 cent pieces ended in 1872. Having fun on a hobby is good but crying wolf too many times will not help you. Report this Post to the Staff

Being an avid CRHer and cherrypicker has made me realize that it takes a TON of searching to find anything worthwhile. With coins, you don't "think you see something"; it's either there or it isn't. I would suggest that you become more open to admitting that not every coin has rare attributes. Report this Post to the Staff
Hflirn Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 06/14/2014 3:54 pm Good point Coinskelly. That is what it looks like...for now. Even myself can make mistakes sometimes :-) I'll know how acute my skills are after some of these coins come back. Hopefully I won't get a huge wake up call and have to start taking everyone's advice lol! Report this Post to the Staff

CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 06/17/2014 06:37 am You are correct, I seem to stay focused on the circulated coinage and forget about proofs. Report this Post to the Staff
